The
recent
thaw
and

has
reduced
the
snow
accumulation
in
the
area
to
just
about
nothing
while
filling
creeks
and
stream*
to
tlieir
heights
and
some
cases,
in
some
areas,
to
flood.
Tuesday
morning
the
Batten
Kill
was
a
wide
ex­
panse
of
water
flowing
o\er
the
old
Continental
(or
tpper)dam
in
the
village
of
Greenwich.
A.

which
had
hung
up
on

some

was
finally

Above
is
a
reproduction
of
the
ballot
which
Republican
voters
will
see
in
voting
machines
when
they
cast
their
primary
election
ballots
Tuesday,
March
7.
Along
four
rows
in
six
columns,
the
names
of
convention
delegates
and
alternate
delegates
appear.
Those
in
Row
A
are
pledged
to
Texas
Governor
George
W.
Bush.
Those
in
Row
C
support
Arizona
Senator
John
McCain.
Row
B
potential
delegates
and
alternate
delegates
were
supporting
millionaire
Steve
Forbes
before
he
dropped
out
of
the
running.
Row
D
contains
the
names
of
potential
Alan
Keyes
delegates
and
alternate
delegates.
The
row
boxes
a
t
left
and
the
column
boxes
at
the
top
are
highlighted
this
year
in
pink
ink.
This
year's
party
primaries
are
interesting
Every
so
often,
but
not
very
often
-
perhaps
three
or
four
times
in
a
century
-
a
primary
election
comes
along
which
attracts
considerable
attention.
This
is
one
of
those
years
when
people
are
very
much
interested
ift
the
Presidential
Pri­
mary
Election
about
to
be
contested
in
New
York
State.
The
two
contests
which
are
drawing
most
attention
are
those
of
the
Republican
and
Democratic
parties,
but
there
is
a
third
race
going
on:
that
of
the
Green
Party.
From
noon
to
9
p.m.
next
Tuesday,
March
7,
registered
Republicans,
Democrats
and
Green
Party
members
will
be
able
to
express
their
electoral
preferences
by
casting
their
ballots
throughout
this
county
-
indeed,
throughout
the
22nd
Congressional
District
and
throughout
the
state.
New
York's
primary
contests
are
closed
in
the
sense
that
only
registered
party
\members
may
cast
ballots
to
determine
who
party
con­
vention
delegates
will
be.
Sc
called
cross-over
voting
can­
not
take
place
in
New
York
as
it
already
has
in
New
Hamp­
shire,
South
Carolina,
and
Michigan.
The
Democratic
contest
At
one
time
the
Democratic
contest
between
Vice
Presi­
dent
Al
Gore
and
former
United
States
Senator
Bill
Bradley
had
been
considered
the
\hot\
New
York
race.
However,
since
Bradley
has
failed
to
gamer
much
support
in
primaries
already
held,
Gore
has
surpassed
him
in
opinion
polls
con­
ducted
among
likely
primary
voters
in
this
state.
Bradley,
the
Missouri-born,
Princeton-graduate,
New
York
Knickerbockers
basketball
star
and
former
Senator
from
New
Jersey
may
yet
show
well
in
New
York
state.
Registered
Democrats
may
choose
either
man
or
perennial
candidate
Lyndon
H.
LaRouche
Jr.
in
Tuesday’s
primary.
In
voting
machines
oil
Tuesday,
Democrats
will
see
their
primary
race
appearing
in
the
lower
right
of
the
ballot
dis­
play,
with
rows
E,
F.
and
G
provided
for
their
votes.
The
names
of
the
three
Presidential
nomination
contenders
ap­
pear
in
the
first
column
that
Democrats
may
select
(Column
11).
Bradley
is
the
Row
E
candidate,
Gore
is
the
Row
F
candidate,
and
LaRouche
is
the
Row
G
candidate.
Follow­
ing
each
candidate's
name
in
the
next
five
columns
(only
three
columns
in
LaRouche's
row)
are
the
names
of
potential
con­
vention
delegates
who
are
presumably
pledged
to
vote
at
the
national
convention
(should
they
be
selected)
for
the
candi­
dates
in
whose
rows
their
names
appear.
Before
each
name,
in
parentheses,
appears
either
the
letter
F
or
M.
These
letters
simply
signify
the
gender
of
the
delegate
candidate
whose
name
follows.
Finally,
in
the
last
column
which
appears(Col-
umn
17),
are
the
names
of
two
potential
alternate
convention
delegates
-
one
supporting
Bradley,
the
other
supporting
Gore.
Democrats
thus
have
as
many
as
seven
primary
selec­
tions
to
make:
one
for
President,
up
to
five
for
convention
delegates,
and
one
for
alternate
convention
delegate.
Pre­
sumably,
Bradley
supporters
would
select
all
of
the
Row
E
contenders
and
Gore
supporters
would
choose
all
of
the
Row
F
candidates.
While
all
of
this
may
seem
complicated,
the
Democratic
Party's
posting
of
candidates
is
relatively
straight
forward
when
compared
with
the
ballot
that
Republicans
inust
con­
sider.
At
least
Democrats
will
see
the
names
of
Bradley,
Gore
and
LaRouche
in
large,
easily
readable
print.
The
Republican
contest
Since
the
New
Hampshire
primary
in
early
February,
United
States
Senator
John
McCain
(of
Arizona)
has
sur­
passed
Texas
Governor
George
W.
Bush
(son
of
former
Presi­
dent
George
H-
W.
Bush)
in
several
primary
contests.
The
two
are
contending,
along
with
Alan
Keyes,
for
Republican
delegates
who
will
support
them
at
the
party's
national
con­
vention
in
the
summer.
Steve
Forces,
the
millionaire
candi­
date
who
recently
dropped
out
of
the
race,
still
has
potential
delegates
and
alternate
delegates
whose
names
appear
on
the
ballot
which
voters
will
see
on
Tuesday.
What
complicates
the
ballot
that
registered
Republicans
will
see
in
voting
machines
on
Tuesday
is
the
fact
that
the
Presidential
candidates'
names
appear
only
in
small
print
under
the
names
of
their
potential
convention
delegates
and
alter­
nate
delegates.
In
fact,
however,
anyone
who
familiarizes
himself
or
herself
with
the
ballot
before
entering
the
voting
machine
will
have
no
difficulty
choosing
for
Bush,
McCain,
Keyes,
or
the
no-longer
running
Forbes.
The
Republican
portion
of
the
ballot
will
appear
at
the;

There
the

of
the
Row
A
names
are
of
party
convention
delegate

Some
o

supporters.
Following
their

are
the

in
favor
of
Bush.
The

names
which
ap­

are
all
o
f
people
who
would
have
supported
Steve
Forbes
had
he
remained
an
active
candidate
for
the
party's
Presidential
nomination.
Their
names
were
registered
on
the

before
he
dropped
out
of
the
race.
Row

is
the
John
McCain
row
and
contains
the

The
last
row
for
consideration
by
Republicans
is
Row

As
with
the
Democratic

Above is a reproduction of the ballot which Republican voters will see in voting machines when they cast their primary election ballots Tuesday, March 7. Along four rows in six columns, the names of convention delegates and alternate delegates appear. Those in Row A are pledged to Texas Governor George W. Bush. Those in Row C support Arizona Senator John McCain. Row B potential delegates and alternate delegates were supporting millionaire Steve Forbes before he dropped out of the running. Row D contains the names of potential Alan Keyes delegates and alternate delegates. The row boxes a t left and the column boxes at the top are highlighted this year in pink ink. This year's party primaries are interesting Every so often, but not very often - perhaps three or four times in a century - a primary election comes along which attracts considerable attention. This is one of those years when people are very much interested ift the Presidential Pri­ mary Election about to be contested in New York State. The two contests which are drawing most attention are those of the Republican and Democratic parties, but there is a third race going on: that of the Green Party. From noon to 9 p.m. next Tuesday, March 7, registered Republicans, Democrats and Green Party members will be able to express their electoral preferences by casting their ballots throughout this county - indeed, throughout the 22nd Congressional District and throughout the state. New York's primary contests are closed in the sense that only registered party \members may cast ballots to determine who party con­ vention delegates will be. Sc called cross-over voting can­ not take place in New York as it already has in New Hamp­ shire, South Carolina, and Michigan. The Democratic contest At one time the Democratic contest between Vice Presi­ dent Al Gore and former United States Senator Bill Bradley had been considered the \hot\ New York race. However, since Bradley has failed to gamer much support in primaries already held, Gore has surpassed him in opinion polls con­ ducted among likely primary voters in this state. Bradley, the Missouri-born, Princeton-graduate, New York Knickerbockers basketball star and former Senator from New Jersey may yet show well in New York state. Registered Democrats may choose either man or perennial candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. in Tuesday’s primary. In voting machines oil Tuesday, Democrats will see their primary race appearing in the lower right of the ballot dis­ play, with rows E, F. and G provided for their votes. The names of the three Presidential nomination contenders ap­ pear in the first column that Democrats may select (Column 11). Bradley is the Row E candidate, Gore is the Row F candidate, and LaRouche is the Row G candidate. Follow­ ing each candidate's name in the next five columns (only three columns in LaRouche's row) are the names of potential con­ vention delegates who are presumably pledged to vote at the national convention (should they be selected) for the candi­ dates in whose rows their names appear. Before each name, in parentheses, appears either the letter F or M. These letters simply signify the gender of the delegate candidate whose name follows. Finally, in the last column which appears(Col- umn 17), are the names of two potential alternate convention delegates - one supporting Bradley, the other supporting Gore. Democrats thus have as many as seven primary selec­ tions to make: one for President, up to five for convention delegates, and one for alternate convention delegate. Pre­ sumably, Bradley supporters would select all of the Row E contenders and Gore supporters would choose all of the Row F candidates. While all of this may seem complicated, the Democratic Party's posting of candidates is relatively straight forward when compared with the ballot that Republicans inust con­ sider. At least Democrats will see the names of Bradley, Gore and LaRouche in large, easily readable print. The Republican contest Since the New Hampshire primary in early February, United States Senator John McCain (of Arizona) has sur­ passed Texas Governor George W. Bush (son of former Presi­ dent George H- W. Bush) in several primary contests. The two are contending, along with Alan Keyes, for Republican delegates who will support them at the party's national con­ vention in the summer. Steve Forces, the millionaire candi­ date who recently dropped out of the race, still has potential delegates and alternate delegates whose names appear on the ballot which voters will see on Tuesday. What complicates the ballot that registered Republicans will see in voting machines on Tuesday is the fact that the Presidential candidates' names appear only in small print under the names of their potential convention delegates and alter­ nate delegates. In fact, however, anyone who familiarizes himself or herself with the ballot before entering the voting machine will have no difficulty choosing for Bush, McCain, Keyes, or the no-longer running Forbes. The Republican portion of the ballot will appear at the; upper left of voting machines. There the voter will see four rows and six columns of names. All of the Row A names are of party convention delegate candidates and alternate del­ egate candidates who support Governor Bush. Some o f their names should be familiar to most voters. Congressman John E. Sweeney is first (in Column 1), state Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno is second (in Column 2), and Lieu­ tenant Governor Mary O. Donohue is third (in Column 3) They are al! Bush supporters. Following their names in Col­ umns 4 ,5, and 6, are the names of three people who would go to the national convention as alternate delegates in favor of Bush. The delegate and alternate delegate names which ap­ pear in Row B are all o f people who would have supported Steve Forbes had he remained an active candidate for the party's Presidential nomination. Their names were registered on the ballot before he dropped out of the race. Row C is the John McCain row and contains the names of three delegate and three alternate delegate candidates. The last row for consideration by Republicans is Row D, whose candidates support Alan Keyes. As with the Democratic primary, presumably votersvvill select entire rows of candidates in the Republican primary contest. However, voters may split their ballots, if they wish to, in either primary. The Green Party contest The Presidential primary contest of the Green Party will be conducted in Washington County on paper ballots, not by voting machine. Party members may cast a vote for one o f four Presidential nomination candidates: Ralph Nader, Joel Kovel, Stephen Gaskin, or Jello Biafra. They may also choosc between two candidates to serve as a delegate at the national convention: Mark A. Dunlea or Steve Breyman. As of press time, information about a possible Indepen­ dence Party primary' was not available. The Conservative, Liberal, Right to Life, and Working Families parties are not conducting primary votes on March 7. Voters who arc regis­ tered as Independents have no votes to cast either as they cannot participate in New York in the party primaries. The ballot is more colorful This year's voting machine ballots sport colored ink. In the Republican portion of the ballot, the boxes at left, which point to the rows of candidate names, are highlighted with pink ink and the \offices\ boxes which head the six columns are also highlighted in pink. In the Democratic portion of the ballot the row boxes and coiumn head boxes are highlighted with green ink. A listing of area polling places is printed elsewhere on this page.,The vote: Tuesday, March 7, noon to9p.m . Below is a reproduction of the portion of the voting machine ballot that Democratic primary voters will consider on Tuesday. Ro w £ is the Bill Bradley slate of candidates. Row F is the Al Gore slate. Row G contains the names of the Lyndon LaRouche set of candidates. The Democratic portion of the voting machine ballot has green ink in the background of the row and column boxes.
